Measuring Capacity accurately

We made some jelly yesterday because:

• it tastes good
• when cool it is refreshing
• it helped us learn to measure the right amounts of water (capacity) using L and ml
• we were learning about reading and writing instructions and jelly has easy to understand instructions.

Miss Jo, Miss Rachel and Miss Isabelle helped us measure the right amounts and stir it.

First of all I didn't read the instructions and made one really badly.  I used cold water, and put in the wrong amount.  The jelly I made was DISGUSTING.

Which other recipes have you made at home?

Measuring length

Here are some rules for measuring how long, wide, narrow, deep, shallow, skinny, fat, thick, thin, short, tall things are:

What you need:
a ruler, a metre stick, a pencil, tape measure, a thing to measure (Tom want to measure a carrot)

What you do:
Get your ruler and thing you are measuring
Make sure you use the right side of the ruler with the right units (mm or cm)
Line up the start of the object with the zero mark.
Count on from the zero to the end of the object.
Read the measurement with your eyes just above the end of the object.
